Ms. Gefell is concerned with interpreting the natural world, emphasizing and exaggerating the abstract shapes, strange lines and textures and looking for the colors within colors. ‘I am especially indebted to artists, such as Nicholas De Stael, who inspire landscapes that reach the sweet spot between abstraction and representation.’ Kathleen Gefell works primarily with the palette knife in oil on canvas and paper.
